"Shi Wan! Who did you run into?!"
Shi Wan covered her aggrieved ears and held the phone further away. "Mengmeng, we were wrong to leave without saying goodbye last time. Anyway, it's just eating out, nothing will happen."
After the last incident, Feng Yunzhou never contacted her again, nor did he return to their villa. After Ji Meng helped her remove all traces of her in the villa, she quietly completed the discharge procedures.
Shi Wan was born into a scholarly family. Influenced by her parents, she usually speaks in a gentle and soft manner, but she is a very opinionated person.
"Wanwan, just be careful." Ji Meng rubbed her forehead. "I'm going back to Kyoto next week. Also, Lu Jingyan is the head of the Lu family. He's ruthless and takes charge of the Lu family at such a young age. Take my black card with you. Don't lose face. If you're going to treat someone, treat them to the most expensive one."
"Alright, Miss Ji, this is just a meal to thank him; we won't have any further contact in the future."
Early Saturday morning, Lu Jingyan began pacing back and forth in front of the wardrobe.
"Brother Lu, you asked me to come here so early in the morning just to tour your wardrobe?" Chu Ningxuan rubbed his reddened eyes, his handsome face full of fatigue.
I was partying at the Genting Club until the wee hours last night, and before I'd even had a few hours to lie down, Lu Jingyan called me over, so I happily started complaining.
A cold glare shot over, and Chu Ningxuan coughed awkwardly. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he jumped up and stared at Lu Jingyan, "Old Lu, are you out of your mind?!"
After saying that, she exaggeratedly touched Lu Jingyan's forehead with the back of her hand, "You're not sick, are you? Have you suddenly blossomed like a tree that's never grown old?"
"roll!"
She pursed her lips, stared at the closet full of black clothes, and shook her head. They were all black; was she going to ask him to choose which one was even blacker?
In the end, Lu Jingyan chose a black wool sweater and suit pants.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Lao Lu, you still have a human side. Even cats in spring would avoid you."
Lu Jingyan pursed his lips, a smile playing on his lips, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Get your red envelopes ready, you'll soon have a sister-in-law."
Chu Ningxuan almost spat out his tea. Lu Jingyan glanced at him with disdain and said indifferently, "Be careful, I have to meet someone this afternoon, don't spit it out on me."
Chu Ningxuan's eyes flickered slightly, and then he took out his phone and started posting gossip in the group chat.
"Great news! Great news! Lu Jingyan has finally seen the light! The eternal bachelor is finally in a relationship!"
Zhao Zhilin has "lost his mind."
Qiao Chu: "Who? Lu Jingyan? His frigidity is cured?"
"They want to find us a sister-in-law, and now they're showing off by trying on clothes like this."
After saying that, she gossiped and took a picture of Lu Jingyan combing his hair in front of the mirror.
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
"Our date was at 7 PM, what time is it now?! You dragged me out of bed to torture me! Isn't the bed nice? Isn't the wine nice? Aren't all the beautiful women nice?"
Chu Ningxuan's rant went on and on in the group chat, completely ignoring the other group member next to him who had a dark expression on his face.
...
Shi Wan chose Liangxiang Night Banquet, a long-established Chinese restaurant in Kyoto.
Standing outside, you can see that the restaurant is a typical Chinese building. Walking through the gate, you can see ancient trees towering in the middle of the main garden. The blue bricks and tiles highlight the tranquility while adding a touch of mystery. The surrounding corridors are surrounded by ponds.
This is a members-only restaurant, unlike ordinary high-end restaurants, mainly serving Kyoto's celebrities and elites.
Shi Wan was unfamiliar with Kyoto's elite circles and didn't know where these powerful and wealthy people ate and drank. She originally wanted to find a restaurant that was ranked highly online for both its taste and luxury.
As a result, Ji Meng, the eldest daughter of the Ji family in Kyoto, strongly objected, and then listed in detail the series of consequences that would result from making Lu Jingyan unhappy.
So the final result was that he gave his black card to Shi Wan and specifically told her that she should never lose face, no matter what she lost.
As Shi Wan entered through the main gate and was about to take out her card, several mocking voices came from beside her: "Has Night Banquet become so low-class now? How come just anyone can get in?"
Three or four girls dressed in expensive clothes swayed their bodies as they walked to the door and giggled at the manager who came out to greet them.
Leading the group was Ye Jiajia, the youngest daughter of the Ye family. Since Ye Jiajia was born late in life and belonged to the upper class of Kyoto, the Ye family doted on their youngest daughter.
Everyone in Kyoto knew Miss Ye's status, so the manager naturally dared not offend her. He quickly echoed her words and politely asked Shi Wan to step aside so that the group of young ladies could go in first.
As Ye Jiajia passed by Shi Wan, her almond-shaped eyes swept over Shi Wan. She considered herself to be one of the most beautiful young ladies among the many noble families in the capital.
The girl in front of him, wearing a black t-shirt and jeans, had a beautiful face and fair, delicate skin. The tight t-shirt made Shi Wan's figure, which she had developed through long-term dance training, even more slender and curvaceous. Not to mention men, even he himself couldn't help but take a second look.
As Ye Jiajia passed by Shi Wan, a meaningful glint flashed in her eyes before she put on her signature sweet smile.
"Lin Yue, maybe they have an uncle or brother coming to eat here?" After saying that, she turned around and teased the girls behind her meaningfully.
Lin Yue, who had just mocked Shi Wan, looked at Shi Wan's stunning beauty and couldn't help but grit her teeth in jealousy, "Yes, the air is filled with the scent of beautiful women."
The manager looked at the several unreasonable young ladies in front of him, tremblingly took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, but still professionally asked Ye Jiajia to show her membership card before she could enter.
"Ms. Ye, could you please show me your membership card?"
Ye Jiajia proudly handed her platinum card to the manager, a cold smile playing on her lips. "Not just anyone can get into a place like this. No matter how pretty your face is, you're just a pretty face."
Shi Wan raised her eyes indifferently, the coldness in them seemingly mocking the clown in front of her, and handed the black gold card to the manager.
The manager couldn't hide his embarrassment when he saw the black gold card. There were only four black gold cards in the entire city of Kyoto, and they were all given to his boss's friends.
The manager immediately put on a smile and said, "Miss Shi, your private room is in Luoyun Pavilion. This way, please."
After saying that, he led Shi Wan inside and called a waiter to come out and greet Ye Jiajia.
Shi Wan turned to Ye Jiajia with a meaningful smile, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised, her eyes clear and unfathomable, giving off a sense of aloofness.
"Jiajia, how come that woman has a black card? There aren't only four people with those black cards..."
Ye Jiajia narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, staring at Shi Wan as she walked in. Her clenched fists made her fingernails dig deeply into her palms, and the jealousy in her eyes intensified.
The spectacle at the entrance was naturally witnessed by Chu Ningxuan, who had come to stake out the area.
The man sitting in the Bugatti was immediately drawn to Shi Wan's exquisite appearance. He had never seen such a beautiful girl before. Even without designer clothes and jewelry, her temperament and delicate features made him glance at her a few more times from inside the car.
He casually took out his phone, snapped a picture of the girl's profile, and sent it to the group chat.
"It's sooo beautiful!"
"I've never seen her in Kyoto before. Which family's young lady is she?"
"No, no, she shouldn't be from Kyoto. With the airs of Kyoto's socialites, they would want to be covered in designer brands from head to toe, but this girl is just wearing a simple t-shirt and jeans."
"Huh...? How does she have a black card? Which of you three lost your card?!"
Upon seeing the black gold card, Chu Ningxuan lost his composure and hurriedly opened the car door, got out, and followed him inside.
"Which room was that girl with the black gold card in?"
The receptionist at the door naturally recognized this young master Chu. Only the Four Young Masters of Kyoto had black gold cards. She looked puzzled and asked, "Mr. Chu, she booked Luoyun Pavilion and used Mr. Ji's card. Weren't you together?"
Chu Ningxuan ignored the other party and quickly walked through the door, bombarding the group chat with messages.
Chu Ningxuan: "@Ji Chu, are you planning to keep a mistress in a gilded cage?"
Zhao Zhilin: "Young Master Lu is going on a date, and you're going on a date too?"
"Aren't you supposed to be a celibate young master? Where did you find such a beautiful and elegant young lady?"
...
Ji Chu, who had just come out of the operating room after surgery, saw Chu Ningxuan's twentieth phone call and dozens of messages in the group. He took off his gold-rimmed glasses, rubbed his brows, and frowned after seeing Chu Ningxuan's barrage of messages in the group.
Ji Chu is the heir to a family of brilliant doctors in China. Before he was thirty, he was promoted to professor level in the United States and became a rising star on international medical forums. However, after completing his studies, he returned to China to inherit his family business.
With his own abilities, Ji Chu could have easily done without relying on his family's business. However, he had a nagging mother who made him choose between getting married and inheriting the family business. Ji Chu, who had no interest in marriage, naturally chose the latter.
Upon seeing Chu Ningxuan's question, a look of understanding flashed in his eyes, and he immediately made a phone call.
"I already told you I'd be back next week! Why are you..." Ji Meng was about to explode on the phone when she heard her own brother's cold voice.
"Who did you give the black card I gave you?" He narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing no emotion.
"Big brother..." Ji Meng said softly and coquettishly. If it weren't for the phone call, Ji Meng would definitely be looking at him with a flattering and innocent expression.
"I gave it to my best friend Wanwan, you know, she's the one who came back from Y country, the one who came from the capital last year."
“I ran into the person who helped me a year ago. I was with her when she was discharged from the hospital, and I didn’t have a chance to say goodbye. I just happened to run into her a few days ago. I should at least do something to show my appreciation, right?”
"But did you know? Her benefactor is Lu Jingyan! I suddenly remembered him that day and said, 'He looks so familiar...'"
After listening to his younger sister's rambling, Ji Chu sighed and rubbed his forehead. Staring at the candid side profile photo in the group chat, a playful smile appeared on his handsome face.
"@Lu Jingyan, is this yours?"
"???"
"!!!!!"
At this moment, the man sitting in the Koenigsegg One 1, whose name had been called out, trembled slightly as he caressed the girl's profile in the photo. He unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, revealing the slender lines of her neck. Her prominent Adam's apple slid up and down, and the corners of her mouth that were inadvertently turned up made the man in front of him even more alluring and sexy.
The driver was startled when he saw Lu Jingyan's smile in the rearview mirror. Having followed Lu Jingyan for many years, the Lu family's position in the entire country remains unshakable. This is not solely due to their nearly century-old foundation, but also to the ruthless methods of each generation of Lu family heads.
"Mr. Lu...we've arrived, Mr. Lu?"
Hearing the driver's voice, Lu Jingyan snapped out of his thoughts and immediately replied in the group chat, causing a huge stir.
"It's her, my Wanwan."
